Exotic animals for birthday party?

i totally agree with what "think_about_it" said. take her and her friends to a rescue shelter, praise her for doing a good thing for all those poor animals who have been through a lot of stress and bad treatment. Bringing these people in with exotic animals is not setting a good example for your daughter - i mean, do you think all of those animals really like travelling around, and being introduced to lots of screaming kids poking them? do those people who are making "a couple of hundred dollars" a time really care about them? no! they are using animals for their business, to make money. the staff at the rescue centers will be pionate and caring, and will really appreciate your visit, and its free there too. think about it...do let us know what you decide.
